    [$] Some 5.12 development statistics
    By the time the 5.12
    kernel     was finally released, some
    13,015 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline
    repository for this development cycle. That makes 5.12 the slowest
    development cycle since 5.6, which was released at the end of March 2020.
